Sadly not, the system unlike London is not closed and not zonal. Every single Oyster station in London has a validator, so every journey starts and ends in a specific zone so the fare calc is really easy.

Leap could be programmed such that it calculate the fare and then deducts the fare where a valid pass was held. This gets messy imagine

Grand Canal Dock - Maynooth where a Pearse - Dundalk ticket was held

You would have to charge GCD Maynooth and deduct Pearse Connolly or do you charge GCD- Pearse and Connolly-Maynooth?

Advent of Kildare GCD will really confuse matters as all kinds of permutations will arise, technically Heuston and Connolly are the same place for the ticketing system, but if you get off at Drumcondra...
